About MeI'm a technically inclined and visual individual with a passion for story-telling, whether it's current events or a short film with a story I want to tell.Currently, I am a Digital News Producer at WWNY / WNYF in Watertown, NY. However, my duties extend beyond the production of our newscasts. My daily routine includes video management, news production, web writing and social media management as well as production with our new Digital News Desk.Outside the work environment, I am a New Jersey Devils hockey fanatic, and am all about the chilly weather and the outdoors. I'm very active and can be found at the ice rink, on the slopes, or in the pool swimming laps.Communications ExperienceSince August 2016, I've had the privilege of working at the one of the best small-market television stations in the country. WWNY-TV, the CBS affiliate in Watertown, NY, is one of the highest rated stations in the country along with its sister station WNYF, North Country Fox. I am a jack-of-all-trades in the newsroom. I have produced newscasts while managing video content, maintaining the website, monitoring social media, and filing stories I shot and wrote myself. My schooling in computer technology also assists in problem-solving in the newsroom.EducationBorn and raised in the north country, I found my passion for filmmaking in high school video production. The media production curriculum offered at Indian River Central High School fueled that passion. From there, I attended Jefferson Community College on a scholarship, receiving a degree in Computer Information Technology. While finishing up my Associate's, I was hired by WWNY-TV as a part-time video technician and in April 2018, I worked my way up to full-time News Producer. In April 2024, I was promoted to Digital News Producer with the intent to monetize all of our platforms and get viewers to click play mid-day while reporters are in the field and producing their stories.In college- I learned the ins and outs of computer technology, giving me the ability to troubleshoot any technical problems that come my way. I also challenged extra-curricular courses in technical writing and journalism to aide my abilities in news production.
